Natural Gas and Chickens.

Not only man. but the lower animal kindom
enjoys food cooked by natural gas in the west
ern part of this State At Economy, the village
built long ago on the Ohio by the peculiar sect
known as the Economists, there are over q hum
dred standpipes for natural gas to light the
streets, and early every morning the remains OF
bugs and other insects that were attracted by
the light are found lying on the ground around
the pipes. 1t is no longer expensive to feed
chickens il Economy. All that the chicken
raisers have to do is to let the chickens run the
streets, and they get plenty of roasted food ev-
cry day. The only danger is that the chickens
may become fastdous by the time cold weather
returns and the supply of bugs gives out and
may go on strike for roasted food by refusing to
lay eggs In that case all the millions of Econo-
mites money will not help matters.

LABOR INTERESTS.

PowderIy Claims That There Is a Determine
alton to "Down" the knights.
PHILADELPHIA, May PIT V. Powderly,
who is now in the city. says in his Journal of
United Labor:
''In the United States, although scarcely out
of it's squatting era, we already have an incipient
landholding aristocracy which is by no means
confined to the bonanza farms of the West. where
work is to a gReat extent done by machinery and
a horde Of tramp agricultural laborers. There
are in this country over a million and half OF
capitalist or specializing owners who have their
farms titled by hired workers. Nearly 100000
of these land barons hold from five hundred to
thousands of each. We have 1000, 900
tenant renters, almost as many as there are IN
Great Britain, cultivating onefourth of our
total farms; and three million three hundred and
twenty-four odd thousand wage-workers who
do not rent land OF the million
and half of real farmers, who either
wholly or in part themselves cultivate their
holdings, it is estimated that 40 per cent.
have their farms mortgaged to such an extent as
really to pay a rent in interest. In many indus
tries we already have a system of pooling and
combination TO which the much denounced union
tyranny and that of the terrible walking dele
gate cannot hold candle. Until lately in all
but few, even the best organized workers could
hardly counterfeit the terror or the ticket-of-
leave plan. by virtue of which it was impossible
for the black listed unfortunate to obtain en-
ployment But the increased influence of the
knights of Labor had sooner mitigated that
oppression and asserted the right of employees to
have a voice in fixing their remuneration, than
the cry goes up from the employers that we want
TO manage our own busness-no dictation and
the incidental advice is thrown In that work
men, for their own good, should eschew the boss
Ism of knighthood and become free 'squires OF
work that means work and ask questions
In default, there seems to be determination to
down the Knights and uproot the organization
among workingmen. to make the victory of the
bosses complete and final"

A Young Married Woman Objects IA
Being Tickled with q Slate Pencil

The Seattle Post-Intelligcncer 10 re
sponsible for the following story:
The good people of squSk slough are
considerably agitated over an occurrence
which took place'in that quiet neighbor-
hood on Saturday. 1t seems that man
named Smith who works in one of the
coal mines has ranch on Squak slough,
where his family resides. Mrs. Smith is
bright little woman with good educa-
ton, and when the husband employed a
young man to dig a ditch on the place
he used to induce his employers wife to
aid him of evenings in his mathematical
studies which he was prosecuting, in the
hope that he would some day be some
thing better than ditch digger for
Squak slough rancher. 1t appears that
one evening while the farmers wife was
aiding him In solving an intricate prob
lem he became very playful and tickled
her in the ribs with his slate pencil.
Mrs. g., like a good woman, made no
fuss over the matter until Saturday even
ing when her husband came home. Soon
after he arrived the studious ditch digger
came up from his work, tired and hun
cry, and no sooner had he entered the
house than she locked the door and made
an attack upon him with a cowhide in =
most ferocious manner. The husband,
who had not been apprised of the tickling
business or the impending storm, took q
position in a corner and watched pro-
ceedings in breathless silence, until the
playful young man took up chair with
which to defend himself.
"Put down that chair, or I'll brain
YOU" shouted the husband. "She never
ticks me unless deserve it, and / know
you must have done something wrong or
she would not go after you"
Seeing he had the worst of it the young
fellow danced to her music until she was
tired out, when he succeeded in forcing
the door open and making bis escape.
Did you get your coat and haiti"
asked friend to whom he told his story.
Il did not want q coat or hat; l was
too warm already. l did not even get
my pay for digging that ditch, and it will
